It's okay for the Footprint issue, I found a workaround.

Have to take a simple picture (non GPS one) then set as footprints and then after that ONLY, set the GPS coordinates.

Cheers mate, hope it would make some people happy ;-)

Yeah, that seems to be the only way to make it work. Doesn't make any sense that you can't just add a GPS photo to Footprints, but it must have something to do with the Leo camera hardware. At least there's a workaround, for people that want to use it.

This may seem dumb as I'm probably the last person on the planet that still uses it, but is there a way to reenable the "phone keypad" option for text entry or did you remove it entirely?
I installed another keyboard and it was working fine, but when I'd switch back and forth between keyboards I couldn't shut off t9.

You can select it with the SIP Menu shortcut in the Tools menu, but it doesn't work right.

I have a People Tab question - I have not had time today to do a thorough search yet to look into it but thought I would post it here in case an answer is know - When i add contact to the people Tab Shortcuts after I add a couple I loose graphics and have a screen full of white boxes, is this a know issue or a glitch? More of a curiosity question since I don't really use the tab but the contacts instead.

I have seen these graphical glitches. I'm not sure if the cause is because the graphics have been CFC'ed, because of ported files, or because of the system resources that Sense 2.5 consumes. Whichever it is, I haven't found a permanent fix for it, but it is a known issue.

I am just going to throw out my opinion if you don't mind. I used Cap's 2.1 Rom pretty much since he released it, and just in the last week or so switched to the 2.5. Besides the differences you mentioned (which I think you were correct on them all) I find the speed to be comparable on both ROMs, I have not experienced any hangs, and at least in my experience battery life is better for me on 2.5. I personally don't miss landscape support since i really only used it for messaging and that is in 2.5 build, and as for people tab as i said above I have looked at it but prefer to have my softkey mapped to All People on home screen. I guess that is my long winded way of saying that unless you need landscape or the hangs are too much to deal with I think 2.5 is the way to go.

I agree with this assessment. For some reason, my Sense 2.5 ROM is quite honestly the fastest ROM with Manila that I've ever used (2.1, 2.5 or older). And i really have no idea why, but I find it awesome. That, and I really like the Manila Locker Mod for Sense 2.5 made by Kisja & amarullz.

dandnj71 said:
I am also a fan of the Phone Keyad so you are not alone. It can be enabled using EZInput Sip Menu under tools, however I have not been able to get it working correctly yet. Just curious when you said you installed another that worked fine did you mean a working phone keypad or just another full keyboard option?

I am going to try to get those SIP options working; however I don't think it'll be possible to fully have the hardware keyboard working, and have all of the EzInput SIP input options working as well. For me, the hardware keyboard working is more important. If others feel differently, let me know, and I may be able to come up with a fix that makes all the SIP options work, but breaks a few of the hardware keyboard shortcuts.

Grrr...I wish I could figure out my Manila Locker issue...I loved it until I wasn't getting my push mail. You are still not seeing that issue when it has been in standby for a few minutes? I may do a clean install this weekend and test that first before installing anything...

Hardware KB working 99.5% or better is paramount for this device, IMHO...if you do come up with a "fix" for this, I suggest it be an option cab and not installed in the base ROM...

Dalek_Caan · Jan 20, 2010

hedcayce said:
Got it figured out working beatifully. Read back through the thread. You can install that cab and use it in t9, then on the HW keyboard hit FN- Right arrow and turn t9 off for it.
Works like a charm

What cab are you refering to? I have tried I think all the cabs and still cannot get the EZinput phone pad to type anything but numbers. If you have it working can you share what you did?

I actually haven't tested my Exchange e-mail disconnected from data prior to locking, and letting the device be locked for a few minutes prior to sending a test e-mail. I'll check that after this ROM flash I'm in the middle of . . .

Agreed. The reason most of us have Raphaels instead of Diamonds is because we want a working hardware keybaord. Right now the hardware keyboards should be working 100%. Any changes I make will decrease that percentage. Since you mentioned 99.5% . . . is there anything NOT working on your hardware keyboard currently?

hedcayce · Jan 20, 2010

this one, if it upped. trying to do it on my phone. if not ill send it when i get home.

well, you just made my day...I said 99.5% because all the other EzInput installations I have seen on the Fuze did not have Fn+Sym support. I guess I have been out of the loop and hadn't tested it, just assumed that was something I would have to live with using a ROM with EzInput...

but I just tested on your ROM and IT WORKS!!!!

Good work!!!

New ROM??? ETA? I wold love to just flash a new ROM instead of flashing such an ancient ROM (1/15) to retest Manila Locker!!!

I'm just flashing some test ROMs to see why my Long Press End Key isn't working. I don't have anything new to release . . . yet

.

Sounds like you need to attend a ROM Flashers Anonymous meeting . . .

ahh...ok...hopefully you can track that down...good luck! Fix that and I'm not sure there is much else to tinker with!

hedcayce · Jan 20, 2010

Sorry dude, no such luck. Keep getting upload failed. I'll up it when I get home from work.

Here's something weird. I re-cooked my Sense 2.5 Fuze ROM and flashed it, and now Long Press End Key works again. But I haven't changed anything. This doesn't make any sense.

well...if SBSH had kept up with the times, I would never flash as much as I have recently. Now, without a bunch of their apps and phonealarm and loading skins and config files for each of those after a flash/hard reset, etc, flashing is about an hour process for me to get my phone setup since I am using Sense to cover alot of the functions I relied on 3rd party apps for. Also, Sense 2.5 has really stepped up the PIM usability in the absence of a fully functional PocketBreeze for WM6.5 in the days of touch use and eyecandy.

My flashing may slow down if Amit finally keeps his word and releases a game changer...word is that a revamped PocketBreeze release is looming that is fully wm6.5 compatible. If it is a keeper, I may not have to seek out the latest and greatest to get the most out of my phone.

maybe a conflict with an app? Did you retry a fresh install of the 1/15 ROM?

That's a good idea. I'll do that after I check the Manila Locker issue.

EDIT: Ok, so it looks like Manila Locker is not affecting my push e-mail. Here's what I did:

- In Sounds & Notifications, I set "New e-mail Message" to "Vibrate".
- In Power settings, I set the backlight to turn off after 10 seconds, and power to turn off after 40 seconds.
- I disconnected from data (using Long Press End Key).
- Then I locked the device with Manila locker, and visually verified it was locked.
- Finally, I pressed the power button to put the phone into standby.

I was planning on sending myself a test message after about 8 minutes, but someone e-mailed me 3-4 minutes after i put the phone down, and it immediately began to vibrate. In fact, I just put it down again, after letting it dim and then turn off about 2-3 mnutes ago, and I just got another e-mail on my device right as it popped up on my PC. So it seems that the Locker isn't preventing push (Exchange) e-mail on my device.

EDIT 2 (Long Press End Key update): Ok, so I flashed the 1/15 Sense 2.5 23518 Fuze edition, and Long Press End Key works fine. Apparently, it just needed a few re-flashes to get working again. Weird. I guess that means I have nothing more to fix

. I guess i'll just sit around and wait for a new build.

good news...I'll reflash sometime in the next couple days and see if it fixes these issues for me. Thanks!!!

Well give me a little while I will see if I can break something for you

Nickyschelfaut · Jan 20, 2010

hee cap, i use your rom again. and after reflashing it's a whole bit stable:O. i only have some question.

some of the other roms i tried have a nice feauture, when you press the left phone button for a while you get a screen (it's a little bit amateur) in wich you can put vibrate on, or let the flash work as a flashlight. I think you don't wan't to cook it in your rom. but do you know the name. Than i am able to install it on my phone!

and: i never use data connection because it's very expensive in the Netherlands (10 euro per month, and i am 16 so i am not doing it) Zo i need to pay 1 euro for every mb. but sometimes an app is making data connection. i now have settet up a fake connection under connections

and let the phone chose it as default connection. ( myconnection diale number 000), so it is fake but sometime the phone makes a connection though? is there a simple way to block data connection

No idea on this one. Maybe someone else can help? What other ROMs have it? Can you find a screenshot? That might help me figure out what it is.

Try this: MoDaCo NoData

EDIT: And i broke Long Press End again. The only difference is that I'm cooking my personal ROM, where I include several registry settings so I don't have to input them manually. Apparently one of those tweaks is breaking Long Press End. I'll have to remove them one at a time to figure out what's doing it.

Fix for phone keypad

for some reason it won't let me upload an attachment, but I uninstalled the ezinput in the remove programs list and installed this.

BJK_HTC_EzInput_VGA_FullKbd_0409-RC2

If you copy/paste it in to google it comes up with a couple downloads for it. This let both keyboards work fine.
